This is one of a collection of teaching activities on Statistics Canada's Web site. This activity introduces students to an overview of the Census of Agriculture. It helps them understand why a record of Canada's most important primary industry is needed every five years. Students will begin to form values about the place of agriculyure in today's society (1-2 class periods). This is a pdf document and Acrobat Reader is required to view it.

This is one of a collection of teaching activities on Statistics Canada's Web site. It uses E-STAT which provides graphing tools to help us explore relationships among data variables. The following example analyses the economic impact of tourism in relation to the Balance of payments. We will review the concept of seasonal effect. Also, we will complete a scatter graph. The scatter graph is a powerful graphing technique to examine relationships.

This is one of a collection of teaching activities on Statistics Canada's Web site. Intermediate students research the demographic profiles of a neighbourhood in a large urban centre, retrieving data that will help them analyse the job market for babysitters. They will develop a better understanding of how population dynamics can affect them, either directly or indirectly.

The atlatl and dart, the predecessor to the bow and arrow, was very important in the lives of Aboriginals in Saskatchewan and all over the world up until about 2000 years ago. Experiment based lessons allow students to learn about the science behind the weapon system that put humans on top of the food chain. Subject integrated lessons for grades 4-12 in the areas of math, science and social studies based on Saskatchewan curriculum objectives.

In this article Judi and Harley illustrate the seven frieze patterns using art of the indigenous peoples of North America. They then develope some of the mathematics of frieze patterns at a level that is accessible to many students. The teacher notes contain activities with frieze patterns for students at all levels.

This article is part of the Mathematics Notes series at Washington State University. In the article, Judi and Harley start by determining the functions that map the plane back onto itself, while at the same time, mapping a specified line back onto itself and preserving the size and shape of any objects represented in the plane. These are the functions that preserve frieze patterns. The authors then look at the algebraic structure of this collection of functions under the operation of composition, show that there are only seven frieze groups, and illustrate how they are generated. Each frieze group is represented algebraically and geometrically. The article concludes with a tour of the Washington State University campus, looking at the ways in which frieze groups are exhibited and used in our immediate surroundings.

This is one of a collection of teaching activities on Statistics Canada's Web site. The Household Environment Survey was designed to collect information on the extent to which households were adopting facilities, products and behaviours that were, or were perceived to be, "environmentally friendly". This resource contains a school edition of the survey that can be completed by students. The purpose is to demonstrate the challenges and importance of statistical data collection; improve educators' and students' knowledge of data collection methods and analytical techniques; and provide cross curricular materials to the education community.
